My school wouldn't let Obama's speech to students be shown because "He's a Commy"

Alright, so I'm starting this thread to ode the sheer stupidity to the area in which my high school exists.
So as you may have heard if you live in America, Obama had a speech to the students of America basically telling them to stay in school and what not. But my school district, uniquely to the my area, decided to restrict teachers on pain of being fired not to show his speech believing "It may encourage the students to support a cause they do not have the capacity to understand(btw, I'm in high school), and may put us at risk if a fascist/touchy speech was made".
WTF did he think he was going to say?! "My young comrades please revert work hours towards that of wheat fields and glorius tractor factory, SCHOOL IS BAD! TEACHER=GYPSY! EDUCATION IS FOR CAPITALIST DOG!"
So if I may ask has this happened to anyone else within this shitstorm we call America? If not than how many actually got to see his speech in school?
If its any consolation I live in Ohio AKA 7th level of hell
Edit: Kudos for who rated me optimistic about Ohio being the 7th level of Hell
Transfer.
Sounds like a really shitty school.
only in america
Lemme guess, you live in the south/midwest.
Awesome!
People need to stop forcing their beliefs on others and let others choose themselves
"The students of america must stay in school, set goals, and strive for success"
"I'M NOT LISTENING BLAH BLAH BLAH COMMUNIST NAZI HOW DARE YOU CORRUPT OUR KIDS MIDS"
He released a transcript of the speech before he read it so the teachers could have made sure there wasn't any brainwashing in it.
By censoring the speech and naming that as the reason, the school is guilty of doing the exact thing they accuse the president of doing.

Hey I live in ohio you communist dog, you better take that back.
We're like 4th level, max.
Putting it in quotes implies that they said that. They didn't. They were trying to protect impressionable students from a charismatic speech that many of them do not understand. I'm not saying it's right or that it makes sense, but it wasn't because "He's a Commy."
Well i'm pretty sure you all just can go and watch it at YouTube anyways.

Where else? Obama is an american president.
Truly America is the least developed country in the Westerns world. Why didn't the southern states win?

SHEEEEEEEEEEELTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERED!
Seriously, if you think that you are a moron. Go live in Ecuador or something and say that again.
I hate this shit, people have the right to say whatever they want, and yet people still say insults because the can't accept these people opinions. We have the right to free speech so we can have tolerance in a country of freedom, but the Founding Fathers theory, and I say theory because I believe it will never happen, has never found any justice.
It makes me sad.

Seriously bro, I'm dead serious. Maybe not about the thing about everything in the southern states, but they had their good parts.

Thats the basic way they said it to me, but still it was a speech towards the student, and my more trusted teacher basically put it to me that the reason they didn't want the students impressed by his speech easily came off as they didn't want him to spread "Socialist Ideas" as she put it.
communist ohio is communist...

Its the parents that are brainwashing the kids with all that creationism bullshit.
He is also a "President". But she is to retarded to understand that
I live in Ohio too. Our school wasn't going to show it, but after parents raised shit with the school board administration, they decided it 'fitted' into a school curriculum. Of course that didn't keep all of the faggots in my classes yelling how they weren't going to watch it because Obama is a commie.

What the hell is the problem if most of the kids don't understand it? They just hear :words: and go on with their lives.
It would cause too much political controversy to show in high school.
If you really wanted to see it, record it.
[QUOTE=Hallucinate;17231589]why do people suddenly think obama is a communist?[/QUOTE]
Because anyone not Republican is a communist
I really think people should be made to do an IQ test before being allowed to vote, It would make those dumbfuck retarded asshats powerless.
